Acupuncture and Cancer Care

Cancer is a devastating disease that impacts millions of people around the world. While there are many conventional treatments available, they often come with a host of side effects that can be difficult to manage. Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese healing practice that has been shown to be effective in reducing the side effects of cancer treatment, and may even help improve outcomes.

At The Emperor's Medicine, We specialize in cancer care and use a functional, integrative medicine approach to help our patients regain their health. Led by Dr. Selma Gladney, DAOM, who has vast experience using acupuncture to help patients struggling with disorders and health conditions, we are committed to providing the highest quality of care possible.

Our Holistic Cancer Care Approach

Acupuncture is a Chinese medical practice that involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body. This ancient healing modality has been used for centuries to help treat a variety of health conditions, and in recent years has been shown to be an effective adjunctive for cancer care, specifically the side effects that come with conventional treatments. Traditional cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiation can often be harsh on the body, leading to fatigue, nausea, pain, and other difficult symptoms. Our cancer-focused approach to acupuncture is designed to help reduce these side effects and improve the overall quality of life for our patients who are impacted by cancer.
